   Hi Kamil,
   I feel a little confused,in"guided partitioning mode",we do"auto partitiong",in"custom partitioning mode",we do"manual partitiong",
   actually,there is no "guided partitioning mode" or"custom partitioning mode",we do default install then we can
   call it"guided partitiong mode" if we change something,we can say it in"custom partitiong mode", As for "auto 
   partitioning",we only need to click"continue".Am I right?

>In the original text there is also:
>#  Repeat the test, selecting a non-English keyboard map and entering a passphrase which would not be input the same on an English keyboard map 
>Personally I would erase this one, I'm not a fan on "repeat-several-times" test cases. We can explicitly say the password _might not_ be set using an English keymap. It's then up to >people to choose. In several test runs we will receive the same result (multiple keymaps tested) with less time invested.

 For this one ,I'm a little disagree with you.If we do not highlight"selecting a non-English keyboard map"，we QA may tends to use English keyboard map only.
 for example,I am an Chinese,but I would just do the default English install for all the testcases,if there is no special saying.

I think it's a good suggestion,and I will try to modify the testcases in this way

For this,we can add one sentence:
How to test
   Boot the installer using any available means
   Make sure your disk is not set to be encrypted
   Select the appropriate disk, and continue installation, choosing all provided defaults，
   and make sure the existing partitions are not modified 
   As for the text mode, you should choose"use free space"for the Autopartitioning Options

>And we should have one more expected result:

># The existing partitions were not modified, the system is installed only into the previously free space.

Yeah,we should add this into the expected result

>Similar to above. Again, let's try to keep the instructions generic if the functionality is obvious. There is no need to say "click Customize". We can simply say "change the root >(/) file system to ext3". If some one is unable to figure out the approach, he/she won't be able to fill in bugzilla report anyway. We don't target complete Linux newbies here.

>Thanks for your work. When you're at it, could you please try to create the "QA:Anaconda partitioning" wiki page with a few screenshots and a short description what "guided >partitioning mode", "custom partitioning mode", "auto partitioning", and "manual partitioning" are? I believe that would be very useful for lots of our test cases. Then we can >update some of them with links as proposed above.

 
   Thanks a lot for your comments .But,er..it seems that there is no need to take sreenshot,as the anaconda's explanation is clear enough.
